VIVI’S CREAMERY • SANTA GERTRUDIS & IBIZA OLD TOWN

The decision starts long before anyone reaches the counter.

Everyone has a favourite. Everyone recommends one. Children change their minds at least twice before finally pointing at the freezer. Whether you’re wandering through Santa Gertrudis after school or weaving through the streets of Ibiza Old Town on a summer evening, Vivi’s has become one of those stops that seems to happen naturally. Good ice cream has a habit of doing that.

DETAILS

– Two cafés in Ibiza Old Town & Santa Gertrudis
– Homemade artisan gelato with endless toppings

FLAVOURS, TOPPINGS & SMALL DECISIONS

The hardest part is choosing. The cabinet is filled with homemade gelato, alongside jars of toppings that children immediately gravitate towards. There are classics, seasonal flavours and combinations you’ve probably never thought to order before. Somehow everyone leaves convinced they picked the best one. Outside the little vintage campervan has become part of the ritual too. Almost every child goes behind for a photo before leaving.

FROM IBIZA OLD TOWN TO SANTA GERTRUDIS

The two cafés each have their own pace. Santa Gertrudis is all slow afternoons beneath the trees, with the playground just across the church square if little legs still have energy to burn. Ibiza Old Town feels different. Ice cream in hand, the old streets become part of the outing as everyone wanders a little further before heading home. Neither visit needs planning. They simply fit into the day.

WHAT LINGERS

Children rarely remember where they were on an ordinary Tuesday. They do remember balancing a melting scoop that was almost too big to hold. They remember debating sprinkles or marshmallows, sitting outside together and insisting on “just one more taste” from someone else’s cup. Those tiny moments have a habit of becoming family traditions without anyone noticing.
